Job description
As an armored unit, you are a supportive fire team. Your job is to take out enemy heavy armor and suppress the enemy when requested.
An armored unit must consist of enough players to fill all crew slots on the vehicle, meaning all available gunner, driver and commander seats must be occupied.
Responsibilities
- Supporting friendly units in the AO
- Transportation when needed
- Secure locations and set up defensive positions
Extended profile
A tank crew needs to be able to work together and communicate. A commander is needed to control the actions of the crew and will also usually operate the radio communications with HQ and other squad leaders.
While a tank might seem safe with its heavy armor, stay cautious and be aware of your surroundings. A tank can be very vulnerable and easy to destroy, it is prone to anti-tank fire by both ground and air units. The tank can be a very important element of the game, but is also hard to operate effectively and requires practice and a skilled team to achieve its full potential.
Your main objective is to support friendly units in the AO with whatever they might need. If no support is requested, the tank should be on standby and ready to support at a moment’s notice. Certain vehicles, such as the Marshal or Slammer, can also provide transport if needed, allowing troops to become more mobile and able to move quickly around the AO.
The armored unit may need to defend important objectives such as the HQ or an MSR (Main Supply Route). For this, you need to find a good vantage point where you can defend the location but still have cover available to escape incoming enemy fire.
